access the PPE Samba server by doing Start->Run->\\ppesmb, (this will allow the VirtualBox program to access the required virtual machine files)
start VirtualBox and select 'Import Appliance ...' from the File menu.
select the appliance (prepackaged virtual machine) to import:

\\ppesmb\ppemgr01\virtualbox\SL48\SL48.ovf for the SL4 virtual machine
\\ppesmb\ppemgr01\virtualbox\SL53\SL53.ovf for the SL5 virtual machine
the default appliance settings for the virtual machine are fine, just select Import
wait while the virtual machine is imported over the network (this copies 2-6 GB of data so will take time)
to run the virtual machine once it is installed, select it and click 'Start':

Shutting A Prepackaged Scientific Linux Virtual Machine Down

A virtual machine can be shutdown either from inside the virtual machine (using /sbin/shutdown as root) or by selecting APCI Shutdown from the Machine pull down menu on the virtual machine window.
